n the least in anything connected with Emerson and Hawthorne. The following was written in a copy of The Monarch of Dreams which was given to Stedman: Cambridge, October 24, 1887 This is rather my favorite child, I think, partly because it is the only thing I ever had rejected by a magazine (Scudder in the Atlantic ), and yet it has been more praised by many than anything I ever did — including very cool critics such as Lowell and Norton. This description of a summer in Plymouth, New Hampshire, was found in the journal of 1880: Our chief drives were over the mountain roads and the greatest delight was to come out on some unexpected view of the beautiful Franconia Notch, which seems the gateway to some happy land. ... One is never wearied of mountain views; in the brightest day there are usually soft cloud shadows sailing over them, and when visible, they are never monotonous. It is always pleasurable in these mountain drives to turn back to the green intervales of C

dressed to George Benson, alias Wm. Lloyd Garrison: Every line from you, assuring me of the continued safety Ms. and repose of dear Thompson, awakens thankfulness to God in my heart. I am rather sorry that he has concluded to visit Plymouth [N. H.] at present; for, though his personal risk may not be great, yet it is more than probable that if he attempts to speak, the meeting will be disturbed. There is yet too much fever, and too little rationality, in the public mind, either for hn to W. L. Garrison.

Its advice with reference to my visit to Plymouth [N. H.] was received too late.

A niece of Colonel Higginson's recalls the burial and writes: I shall never forget Uncle Wentworth's beautiful, transfigured look when he said in a broken yet strong voice, The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. After a few weeks' absence, the Colonel with his usual elasticity wrote: To-day we are back again in our dear home and I feel a sense of new life and joy and hope this lovely spring day. The following summer was spent at Plymouth, New Hampshire, where we jogged about with an old horse named Dorcas, studied ferns, and ransacked farms for old furniture. Colonel Higginson once had an opportunity while there to indulge his boyish passion for responding to fire-alarms. He had established himself on a roof to help extinguish the flames of a burning house and was startled when he heard the order, Hand the bucket to the old gentleman! —this being the first time he had been thus designated. From Plymouth the same season he made
